A big shout-out to Hu Li Lin and Family for their gratitude and for putting us in the limelight a bit with below letter in the Straits Times newspaper. We're happy that all's well that ends well.

I AM the younger sister of Mr Hu Jin Jie, the Singaporean diver who was rescued alongside five others. Many people offered strong support to my family during this time of crisis.

We are extremely grateful to Tioman Ferry. After hearing about how we were unable to catch the last ferry leaving Mersing at 4.30pm, they made an extra effort to liaise with others to provide special transportation for us. They arranged for a van to ferry us from our home in Singapore to Mersing, and were even prepared to arrange for other emergency transport services for us.
They offered continual assistance, and provided us with a listening ear. They also gave us the latest updates on the divers.

Through this ordeal, we have learnt to cherish my brother even more and appreciate our family life.

Hu Li Lin (Miss)
